Hornady 53. gr v-max, anybody tried?

I just looked them up on their web page. But their lighter ? How is that going to translate into higher BC ? Look Nosler has a 55gr Boat tail bullet with plastic tipped bullet and its BC is lower ? Besides how much difference is .40 BC going to make ? A while back I connected with a coyote at nearly 300yds with 55gr V-Max out of a AR-15. I hardly had to apply much hold over in High desert thin air.I'm not going to lose any sleep over this.

Higher BC translate into more down range energy and less drift. I try and be as efficient with my loads as possible… run it through a ballistics calculator, it's pretty impressive. In the mean time I will shoot my 50gr loads and try them when I can get my hands on some, who knows my rifle may not even like them.

BC examples:.20 cal 40gr v-max = .275 Sole reason why a .20cal out performs most .22cal rifles with same parent cartridge shooting the same gr of bullet. same goes for the 6mm bullets, most have high BC's compared to there weight.22cal 50gr v-max = .242.22cal 55gr v-max = .255I try and always use the highest BC bullet my rifle will shoot well. These new bullet shapes translate into higher BC’s on lighter bullets now. Berger VLD’s are a great example.
